Brother,

AS I am acquainted from you with the state of things in Eng∣land, so let me impaire unto you some alterations here, that more neare to touch us: Grave Henry our Prince, and Ma∣ster, by some information, from Martin Van trump, the States Admirall, is fallen into some more then distrust with the States, in matter of his proceedings in the Army, their jealousies brake forth into open discontent, upon occasion of a meeting of a great crue of his Commanders at a supper in Flushing▪ upon the arri∣vall of the Queene of Great Brittaine, where his health be∣ing drunke before the Lords Generall, the Bourgemasters of the Towne, tooke great exceptions at it, giving out that the Prince of Orange was but their servant, and tooke pay of them, as well as the meanest souldier in the Army; that it was disorderly done, to drinke his health before his betters: to whom replied Monfieur de Ʋarasaville, a French Captaine of Horse; that he trusted the Prince his Master so well understood himselfe, that having married his Son to the eldest daughter of the King of great Britaine, he would scorn to be counted, much more to be termed, the servant of Brewers and Bakers, and Felt-makers: hereupon the Burgemasters surlily and sawcily replyed, that taking their allowance, he was either a true servant, or a false Traytor.

Varracaville was rising to let flie at him: and some others were as ready as he; but noyse and tumult arising, the Governour of the Towne came in, and commanded all to be quiet, great muttering was in the Towne, the next two dayes about it: on the third, the

Prince was summoned to the Hague to make his appearance before the States Generall, to make answer unto such things, as should by Martin Van Trump, Iohn Van Esterdort bee laid against him. His Highnesse tooke such homely dealing bad, and his servants worse: and his Army worst of all, who summoning a Counsell of warr•• to his Highnesse lodging; plainely told him, that except he would, he should not goe, and that they should know, that if they had money they had swords, and that they having command of the one, would not be long without the other, and that should shortly appeare, hereupon we all, as well servants, as Commanders, tooke an oath unto his Highnesse, and his sonne, to serve them towards all, and a∣gainst all; which taken upon mature deliberation, it was ordered by his Highnesse himselfe, because of the Queene of great Britains presence to go to the Hague, but not to take notice of any summons, and with such a company with him, that hee should not greatly need to feare them; and here we are in that posture, not caring for those that looke so big upon us: I trust the Army is wholly made for his Highnesse; not being desired of their service, but freely of∣fering if: We his servants, and those of my young Masters, are re∣solved to see our end shortly accomplished, or to die every man of us: I trust there are no false parties in the Army, then before May-day I hope we shall see an alteration: and those that hold themselves our masters, shall be glad to give us all fitting respect: the King of Denmarke is assuredly for it, and hath promised both coyne, men, and shipping: France hearkens to it, and Spayne upon some condi∣tions, will yeeld assistance; it is more honourable for a Prince to be tyed in some ceremonious concernments unto a Monarch, then to any other, either by Democrasticall, or Aristocraticall Govern∣ment: more pleasant tydings I hope to write you, at the Queens re∣turne, if not before; for this must not be long in doing, and it is here thought, that she will not stay long here, by reason that these atchievements cannot long remaine without a period, nor without some bickering, we hold it not fit, shee should be eye witnesse of it: His Highnesse, although he is counselled to send away speedily his young sonne, and our hope, into France, yet he will not, but is resolved that hee shall partake of his fortune, what ever it be; I hope we shall shortly cry, Ʋivez Oraneye; and in this expectation, wishing Heaven to say Amen unto it.

Avisoes from severall places.

THe 20. of Decem. stilo novo, arrived at St. Lucar the Admirall of the Nova Spania's Fleet, in company of another little small ship, they came in 92. dayes from the Havana, and were parted by a storme from the rest of the Fleet 12. dayes after their setting forth. I suppose they may be arriued at Porto Rico, for they had most of them spent their masts. The said Admirall was cast away in the going into St. Lucar, of 4. Millions, which he brought, about 1. ½ million lost; the whole Fleet worth 10. or a 11. millions, the richest that ever was knowne; in the said Ad∣mirall was lost 500. Chests of Cuchinell, and a 1000. Chests of Indigo, with a great quantity of other goods. I have Letters by an Aviso from Cartagena, dated the 14. of September, wherein they advise that the Gal∣lions were ready laden with the silver, and would depart thence the 6. of October. The Generall of the Gallions, named Francisco Dias Pimien∣ta, had bin formerly in the moneth of Iuly, with above 3000. men, and the least of his Ships in the Iland of Sancta Catalina, which he had taken and carried away all the English, and rased the Forts, wherein they found 600. Negros, much gold and Indigo, so that the prize is esteemed worth above halfe a million.

This unexpected, and undeserved act of the Spaniard, in supplanting our Nation, will I hope ere long be requited, when as in coole bloud the Spaniard shall doe us a mischiefe, in demolishing, and ruining that which another hath built; and is not able, or will not make use of it himselfe, sup∣planting our more industrious people, which endeavoured to doe good both to the bodies and soules of men, and onely to shew his greatnesse, with his multitude to destroy a handfull, and to account that a victory, which is ra∣ther a credulous trechery: but let him triumph that wins at last.
